50% Elite Qualifying Miles Bonus on Alaska Flights
Airlines are in trouble right now with the COVID19/Coronoavirus situation. Alaska Airlines is headquartered in Seattle, the epicenter of the outbreak in the US.
We have already seen deep discounts on flights including $99 tickets to Hawaii on the airline.
Now Alaska Airlines is offering a 50% Elite Qualifying Mile bonus on all Alaska/Horizon flights until April 11. UPDATE: Now extended through May 31. Simply register now and get credited your bonus EQMs on your next flight. It does NOT appear that this is a targeted promotion meaning anyone can register.
Elite Qualifying Miles are what are needed to earn elite status — MVP, MVP Gold, and MVP Gold 75K.
